Now for the play with both 6♠ & 6♦ bid. No methods in the room to get to a grand.

Acolers opened 1♦
Lead K♥


I think partner must have got bored
Lead 6♦

I would start with a 2♥ transfer to spades and then (without the improbable super accept) a 3♣ secondary transfer to diamonds.

I've not played re-transfers before, but I was wondering whether you can play them with 2♣ as a 5-card Major ask?

I am trying to see the problem with 6 spades even with a baddiish break
But diamonds looks easier than spades
Let's stay with spades. Am I just happy to make or looking for all 13
Believe it or not I will try to work it out but wait for the experts to comment first :)
Can I use the information from the lead from hand 1 on hand 2 :)
Can we assume that the first round of diamonds goes round
I am going to win first round of diammonds in South and try two rounds of spades and hope
OK so first round of diamonds is ruffed
That is all from me :)

Depends on the type of Acol. Swiss Acolites open 1♦ but the opening in Modern English Acol is 1♥. As previously explained, I cannot honestly tell you what the German Acol players open here. :lol:

Playing Crowhurst era Acol I open 1♦, older AND more modern Acolers open 1♥.

K♥ lead from KQ

On the diamond lead East will go up with the Jack.
On a low spade back West discards the 2♠
